Hosea 1:2-4
Lexham English Bible

2 At the beginning when Yahweh spoke[a] through Hosea,
Yahweh said to Hosea,
    “Go, take for yourself a wife and children of whoredom,
    because the land commits great whoredom
        forsaking Yahweh.”[b]
3 So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim,
    and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 And Yahweh said to him,
“Name him[c] Jezreel;[d]
    because in a little while I will punish[e] the house of Jehu[f]
    for the blood[g] of Jezreel,[h]
        and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.[i]
